Time machine is still on – welcome to 2007! The feedback on our last trip back to 2006 was so good that I couldn’t resist turning this into a proper series. So today we are moving just one year forward. Nineteen years ago soulful house music was in a beautiful…
Time machine is on! We are turning the clock back exactly 20 years. This mix is my personal tribute to 2006, the year Summer Fondue Sessions was born. I went digging in the crates to pull the pure soulful house tracks released during that exact year. These are the basslines,…
This time we’re taking a detour from from our usual sun-drenched poolside energy and head straight into the late-night hours. This episode is a collection of deeply emotional, vocal-driven deep house anthems from 2006 to 2014. It’s nostalgic, heavy with feeling, and is almost spiritual (but still soulful). There is…
In this episode, we’re jamming with the legendary 80s and 90s anthems we know by heart, but through a modern, funky lens. It’s the sounds of our youth – iconic tracks I was listening to many years ago, transformed by modern producers to give them a fresh nu-disco heartbeat. Featuring…

All tracks are from 2003-2011, and 100%…
